I don't see any safety problem involved in shooting cases with split necks, but reloading those cases indicates poor quality control on the part of the reloader. I also note that the cases were not polished, a mark of a quality commercial reloader. Also not a safety factor, but indications that his QC may be lacking in other areas as well and there could be a safety factor somewhere else.
It looks to me like a low level "commercial reloader", probably some guy in his basement with a Star tool, or maybe even a Dillon and time. Yes, I would complain to the club as they are his customer.
(Note that I don't know how scarce .38 Special brass may be in NZ, so perhaps every case has to be used until it is beyond salvation.)
